Message: “The Hospitality of Life” from Jeff Lawrence

A message from the series “Welcome Home: God, Hospitality, & How to Change the World.” Does this sound like you? You long for a meaningful life and deep relationships with others. You feel a little guilty about not having more time for others, but life feels too busy chasing the next thing—next text, next meeting, next sporting event, next career move.

Maybe it’s time to reclaim an ancient idea. 2000 years ago, an invitation was given: “Love your neighbor.” The old word for this is hospitality. When you study the way Jesus lived, it’s amazing how many significant moments occurred as he encountered men and women in the everyday stuff of life. Join us for this series about the simplest way to change the world. It worked then. It will work now.

Message: “The Way of the Cross” from Jeff Lawrence

A message from the series “Acts – Glad Hearts, Bold Church .” What comes to mind when you think about power?

Message: “Is Jesus Lord?” from Chace Ifland

A message from the series “Acts – Glad Hearts, Bold Church .” The phrase “Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” gets used often in our world, both inside the church and even in cultural settings like award acceptance speeches and post-game interviews.

In Acts 19 we see several stories that show Jesus as both Savior and Lord, and invite us to recognize him as Savior and Lord in our own lives!
